7,938
Published 2023-01-15
We set off over Penistone Hill on Haworth Moor, passing the walk to Bronte Falls and Top Withens, famed by the book Wuthering Heights and the Bronte Sisters.
Following the Trans Euro Trail (T.E.T) we pass through Stanbury and ride next to Ponden Reservoir at Scar Top before leaving the T.E.T. to ride through Widdop and down to Hebden Bridge.

I love the fact you were barely interested in bikes but now go out for rides just for the sake of scratching that itch!

How to fall off a bike! Not too difficult, just find a nice patch of wet autumn leaves on a slow tight bend, such as taking a left junction….and you’ll be on your back like a flipped tortoise in no time. I did mine on a step thru’ moped, but it will work as well for a proper bike.😂

First time watching your videos, really enjoyed it. Some interesting information and no annoying music.... I'd definitely give the Fox and Goose a visit, I was there last week. The beer is great and they have a lovely beer garden. I don't know if you know, but at 2:14 if you follow that road to the end, that's part of the off road TET. It comes out at Pecket Well, I did it on my Honda PCX 125... 🙂 Probably easier from the Pecket Well side then you come down the steep part not up it. Film it

Living on the dark side (Burnley) I ve travelled on these beautiful roads many times in the car and on the motorbike (although they do look like they are in need of some repair). I hated motorbikes and 17 years ago but took my test and can now only be described as obsessed 😂. Have nt heard the Dvorak music cotton tails for some years brought back lovely memories (not hovis bread in Howarth btw😂). Ride safe and enjoy.

It's not that you need to learn how to "fall off your bike". It's learning how to AVOID falling off in the first place! Most who fall off bikes do so because they push their luck in bad conditions or do not know how to keep their tyres from slipping while cornering or braking. A mindset that is geared towards falling off is inviting that very outcome. Forget the "how to fall off" thing. Research into how to NOT fall off!

Im a new biker also. I'm still getting to grips with the preride jitters, but once I'm out i absolutely love it! Hopefully, this is something that fades with time and experience.

Same experiences here, and pretty much same roads on a regular basis (i've been down your route here many times) as well as up in the yorkshire dales as i live just outside bradford. I really love my 2021 cb125f and some days do upto 200miles with a flask of hot choccy and some sandwiches. I always take it steady on the wetter roads as the bike being quite light isn't as planted as i would have liked, but found that as a heavier guy, turning the preload on the shocks up a couple of notches to no 4 really helped (especially going down some pf the steep cobbles in this part of the world lol). As far as boots go, ATM i have a pair of walking boots i wasnt using, so bought some elasticated jodphur straps for a few quid that i put through the laces and clip onto the trouser bottoms to stop them riding up and wind/water getting in - works great. BTW dont take the mpg readout on the bike literally, it's 20-40mpg out no matter how steady you ride, only way is to calculate it from miles/litres used. I regularly get upto 180mpg on the bike readout, but actually have averaged 140mpg in reality since last Aug. - check https://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/honda/cb125f/2021 for myself and others actual figures, but it's still crazy cheap to run. anyhoo better stop waffling, so GL and i might see you on the road sometime

Suggest you look into doing a bike safe day with your local police VERY worthwhile. I think your road positioning could be improved - plod will sort you out (great lads by the way)
-
So I'm assuming you understand what we were all going on about now, and you're hooked? :P
-
Nice getting into riding story. I'm not sure about a course to teach you how to 'fall off a motorcycle', better a course which teaches you how to avoid that situation..
-
thats a cracking route... ive only driven over the tops to Hebden bridge, never went that way, would love to tag along one day ? loved the video, are we not lucky living here
-
Audio sounds great mate
-
If your suspension is clunking or crashy look in your manual and adjust the preload. They are set for lighter folk soadding a couple of clicks solves this. I know this as a husky gent 🤣
-
What does T.E.T. stand for ?.
-
Lol getting your gear right costs more money than the bike!

Hebdon bridge is officially the lesbian capital of uk.

you DO keep on about "learning to fall off" IMO you'd do better to learn how to NOT fall offf
